Our road race is organized by Amstel and the great Dutchman and lover of all things related to cycling: Leo van Vliet. It celebrated its 11th race this past Saturday (November 3, 2012) and draws participants and spectators from all over Europe, the US and South America!

“It feels a bit more like riding in Africa. It’s a bit crazy. You’ve got to watch the drivers a bit, watch the roads. The temperature is definitely right up there.” – Chris Froome, won a Bronze Olympic medal in 2012, rides under his British passport, but was born in Nairobi, Kenya, raised in Johannesburg, South Africa.

“It’s a beautiful course. We’re enjoying ourselves. We’re actually on vacation, but this is a beautiful experience. The living is easy here. I’m considering moving here. No stress.” – Joaquim Rodriguez, 1st overall UCI World Ranking, from Barcelona, Spain.
